Repeater/Fiber Hub
The Repeater Adapter and Fiber Module are designed to plug together on a user supplied
35 x 7.5 mm metal, top hat rails (DIN EN50022). The Repeater Adapter model TC-
RPA002 requires a 24 Vdc power supply and it supplies the power to the Fiber Module.
The Fiber Module is available in a short distance model TC-RPFS01 and a medium
distance model TC-RPFM01. The TC-RPFS01 short-distance, Fiber Module supports
fiber optic trunk segments up to 300 meters (984 feet) in length. The TC-RPFM01
medium-distance, Fiber Module supports fiber optic trunk segments up to 3 kilometers
(9,842 feet) or more in length. The actual distance supported depends upon the quality of
the fiber cable and the quantity and quality of cable splices and connectors, including
patch panels
You can purchase prefabricated cable with Versalink fiber termination or a termination
kit and bulk cable from the Allen-Bradley Company, Inc. as noted below. This is 200/230
micron HCS cable for use with the short-distance Fiber Module only.

WARNING
• Never look directly into the fiber ports or the end of a cable connected to
an active transmitter. The light levels may damage your eyesight.
• Never use a microscope to view an active cable system. The
concentration of the light from the microscope could permanently
damage your eye.
Please observe the following general guidelines when handling fiber optic cable, as well
as all manufacturer recommendations.
• Do not bend the cable beyond the minimum radius specified.
• Do not touch the end of the fiber optic strands.
• Always protect the ends of a fiber optic strand from coming in contact with dust,
dirt, or other contaminants.
• Always put protective caps on disconnected fiber cable connectors.
• Clean any contaminated ends with a soft, clean, lintless cloth and alcohol.
• Observe all local regulations for installation, including the use of personal safety
equipment.
• Always dispose of any fiber waste. This prevents the contamination of clothes,
fingers, or eyes by glass fragments.
• Review all cable parameters and specifications before installation. Be sure you have
the proper amount of connectors and installation equipment. Never attempt to use
non-compatible connectors and installation tools.
ATTENTION
The segment and link planning considerations covered in the Experion
Planning Guide in Knowledge Builder also apply for ControlNet fiber media.
The following considerations are specifically related to using fiber media in a ControlNet
system. They are intended to supplement the ControlNet coax system considerations.
• The total number of coax Repeaters and/or fiber optic Repeaters that can be
connected in series between two nodes is five (5) or less. The total number of
repeaters includes:
− Each coax Repeater used to connect one coax segment to another in the path.
− Each Repeater/Fiber hub used to connect a coax segment to a fiber optic
segment in the path.
− Each Fiber Module used to connect one fiber optic segment to another in the
path.
• The total length of ControlNet coax and fiber optic cable between any two nodes can
not be more than 10 km (32,808 ft).
For example, a fiber optic trunk segment could have the following attenuation
characteristics:
• A cable with an attenuation of 1 dB/km @ 1300 nm.
• Two cable connectors with an attenuation of 0.5 dB each.
• A splice with an attenuation of 0.3 dB.
• Repeater/Fiber hubs with maximum attenuation of 9.3 dB

ATTENTION
• You are responsible for obtaining and mounting the 35 x 7.5 mm metal,
top hat rails (DIN EN50022) to be used for mounting the Repeater
Adapter.
• The Repeater Adapter supports non-redundant ControlNet media
communications. For redundant ControlNet media support, a second
Repeater Adapter is required.
• Be sure you install the ControlNet Repeater Adapter at the left end of a
Repeater Adapter and Fiber Module hub.
Step Action
1 Orient the Repeater Adapter so the top of the unit is over the top of the DIN
rail.
2 Slightly rotate the module to slip its top mounting flange on the top of the DIN
rail.
3 Press the module down flush with the DIN rail so its locking tab snaps into
place, securing the module to the rail. If necessary, you can use a
screwdriver to manually retract the lock while pressing the module firmly
against the rail and then releasing it when in position.
4 Leave the protective covers on the connectors until you are ready to make
the connections.
5 For redundant ControlNet media, repeat this procedure to mount a second
Repeater Adapter on a separate DIN rail.
Wiring
ATTENTION
• To comply with CE Low Voltage Directives, you must use a Safety Extra
Low Voltage (SELV) or Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV) power
supply (24 Vdc) to power the Repeater Adapter. To comply with the
requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) ANSI/NFPA 70 and
the UL Listing of this equipment, you must use a UL Listed Class 2
power supply. To comply with the requirements of the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) C22.1 and the CSA Certification of this
equipment, you must use a CSA Certified Class 2 power supply.
• Be sure the Repeater Adapter is attached and secured before applying
power to it. Failure to do so may cause damage to the Repeater.
• Do not connect more that four Fiber Modules or exceed the power limit
(1.6 A @ 5 Vdc) to avoid damaging the Repeater and Fiber Modules.
Step Action
(Note that when a Repeater Adapter and Fiber Module pair (Hub) is used in
series to only repeat a fiber link to another fiber link (see Figure 6), there is
no need to connect a coax drop cable or terminator to the BNC connector. In
this case, it may be desirable to cover the left, red, (COAX) LED (which will
be lit to indicate no cable is connected). Otherwise, use a coax drop cable to
make a connection to a local trunk cable as noted above.)
Step Action
3 Observing polarity, connect the leads from the 24 Vdc power supply to the A
(+V) and C (– COM) terminals, respectively. While using a small bladed
screwdriver in the slot above the terminal to pry open the terminal clamp,
insert the stripped end of the power lead into the terminal and remove the
screwdriver to secure it. The recommended wire size is 14 AWG stranded
cable. The acceptable wire size range is 24 AWG minimum to 14 AWG
maximum.
(Note that the Repeater Adapter does not have a power switch, so it is
powered whenever the power supply is turned on.)
4 • Make required approved ControlNet trunk cable and terminator
connections to the Tap.
• Refer to Figure 3 for an example of redundant ControlNet fiber media
cabling.
5 If applicable, use the B (+ V) and D (– COM) terminals to “daisy chain” 24
Vdc power to another module.
6 Use the red and yellow cable markers supplied with taps to mark the A and B
cables, respectively, in a redundant-media system.

ATTENTION
This procedure assumes that a ControlNet Repeater Adapter with or without
a ControlNet Fiber Module is already installed and that the power supply is
turned Off. (Note that up to four Fiber Modules may be used with one
Repeater Adapter, allowing for 1-8 fiber links to be connected to the Fiber
Module(s). The Fiber Module shown in Figure 4 is a medium distance model
TC-RPFM01, which differs slightly from the short distance model TC-RPFS01
that supports a different fiber cable type. )
Step Action
1 Remove the protective cover from the backplane bus connector on the
Repeater Adapter or other Fiber Module already connected to a Repeater
Adapter. Remove the protective cover from the bus connector on the left side
of the Fiber Module to be installed.
2 Orient the Fiber Module so the top of the unit is over the top of the DIN rail to
the right of the installed Repeater Adapter or Fiber Module.
3 Slightly rotate the Terminal Base to slip its top mounting flange on the top of
the DIN rail.
4 • Press the Fiber Module down flush with the DIN rail so its locking tab
snaps into place, securing the module to the rail. If necessary, you can use
a screwdriver to manually retract the lock while pressing the module firmly
against the rail and then releasing it when in position.
• Carefully slide the module to the left until its bus connector is fully
seated in the mating Repeater Adapter or Fiber Module bus connector.
(Note that you can connect up to four Fiber Modules to one Repeater
Adapter. Be sure you secure the modules together with DIN rail anchors to
minimize the chance of lost communications or damage to the modules. )
5 Leave the protective cover on the backplane bus connector on the right side
of the module until you are ready to make the connection.
Wiring
ATTENTION
• The Fiber Module receives its power from the Repeater Adapter.
• The minimum fiber cable length for a short distance Fiber Module is 0.1
m (4 in).

Measuring OTDR
In addition to measuring power loss, you should check your total fiber network using an
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR). The OTDR transmits light into a strand of
fiber optic cable and displays the reflected light. This data will help you determine the
following about your fiber network.
• Total distance along the cable to a fiber break.
• Distance to an event (splice, bend, and connector) that attenuates the light.
• Distance between two attenuating events.
• Light attenuation between two points of the cable.
• Total reflected light or light reflected from a single event.
